Discovery Day

East Convention Level / East Ballroom AOpen to the Public

Discovery Day is an outreach event designed to educate the public about the mineral exploration industry and build awareness about the importance of minerals and metals in our everyday lives. Bring the whole family down to experience the intrigue and excitement of our industry, with interactive and educational displays that will engage both adults and children.

Below BC: Visit the Below BC Booth and learn about the local geology of BC with our hands on mineral, rock and fossil collection.

Geological Survey of Canada: Learn about our national mineral resources and natural hazards from Canada’s oldest scientific agency, the Geological Survey of Canada. See how ground movement caused by earthquakes are measured with a demonstration seismometer.

Yukon Dan: Have you ever wondered how to turn a pile of dirt into a pile of gold? Learn the trade secrets from a professional, award-winning gold panner, Yukon Dan, who will show you how to pan for gold in minutes.
